Old Factory

Paula Modersohn-Becker

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a large brown building from the side. The building is on the left, with a tall chimney and several layers of windows. On the right, the horizon is dotted with dark trees. Closer to us is a green field with small bushes on it. The sky at the top of the painting is pale blue with gray clouds. The brushstrokes in the painting are thick and textured, creating a sense of movement in the sky and landscape.
